Acquiring Allegri’s service is not an easy task for Milan, as even though they have made an agreement with the Tuscany coach, there’s a problem regarding his contract with Cagliari that hasn’t been rescinded by the Sardinian club. The club’s president, Cellino, keeps on stalling and delaying the talk to end Allegri’s contract with the Isolani due to the president’s anger with the coach, who as alleged of making contacts with the Rossoneri before finishing his work at Sant’ Elia.
Moreover, following Allegri’s move to Milan, the Rossoneri also renewed the ownership of their co-owned defender with Cagliari, Davide Astori, for at least another year. Meaning that the talented defender will be staying at the Isolani next season with the same co-owned status and should the Diavolo Rosso decides to get the young defender back, they would need to pay 3,5 million Euro for him. Other deals that set to be concluded along with the 45-years-old coach arrival at the San Siro, are regarding Cagliari’s midfielder Andrea Lazzari and Milan’s defender Elia Legati.
